远角犀

远角犀(学名Teleoceras)是生存于约530万年前中新世至上新世早期北美洲一属已灭绝的犀牛。

远角犀的脚较现今犀牛短,胸部呈桶状,故外观有点像现今的河马。牠们有可能是半水生的。牠们只有单一只细小的鼻角。

远角犀是内布拉斯加州火山灰化石床(Ashfall Fossil Beds)中最为普遍的化石。事实上,牠们的遗骸数量很大量及集中,是火山灰化石床中最为密集的化石。大部份的骨骼都获得接近完好的保存。其中一个标本是幼犀从母亲中出生。

Teleoceras is an extinct genus of grazing rhinoceros. It lived in North America and southwestern France during the Miocene epoch, which ended about 5.3 million years ago, through the early Pliocene epoch.

Teleoceras had much shorter legs than modern rhinos, and a barrel chest, making its build more like that of a hippopotamus than a modern rhino. Like the hippo, it was probably also semi-aquatic. Teleoceras had a single small nasal horn. It was a quite heavy animal, reaching 1.81 tons in weight.
